Here is what some of you shared as part of my recent initiative “Ask Me Anything” on my website about feeling confident in interviews.
“I prepared for all the topics but at the time of interview, I get nervous and loose my confidence. This is because so many candidates are there and they are so good in their appearance.”
“I have confidence and I am very sure that I will get selected but when I attend an interview, by watching a lot of crowd around me and when I see candidates are more beautiful and attractive than me, my confidence level goes down.”
Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
I can’t help but agree. Oftentimes, seeing how you match up against others is a frustrating, discouraging, and simply unproductive use of your time.
But let’s be honest, where there is competition, there is bound to be a comparison but should you be the one comparing yourself to others?
Well Yes and No!
Now before we dive deep into the yes and no let us understand why do certain industries like airlines conduct interviews where they invite you to part of open day assessments where you are required to introduce yourself in front of other candidates instead of just performing 1-1 interview.
Airlines want to know how potential flight attendants conduct themselves in front of a group. Flight attendants often must perform their job duties in front of hundreds of passengers, so group interview shed light on how well applicants communicate in a group setting.
So there is no getting away from always performing whether it’s interviews or your job. And this is common for interviews for jobs in sales, law enforcement, and more as people in these industries have to deal with a high-pressure work environment or difficult or frustrated people frequently.
